In the wake of the unprecedented Sunday direct hit on Israel’s Ben Gurion international airport by a ballistic missile launched by the Houthis of Yemen, Israeli leadership has vowed to hit back hard. “The attack on Ben Gurion Airport has removed all restrictions from our perspective,” Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz has stated. He emphasized, “Whoever harms us will be harmed sevenfold” – amid an emergency meeting of Israel’s security cabinet. Al Jazeera and regional media say that response has come on Monday. There are reports that 30 Israeli jets are bombing Yemen’s main port, along with US military assistance:

Al Jazeera’s Ali Hashem has reported that Houthi-affiliated media has said a total of nine sites have been hit in Hodeidah.

Israeli media has reported both at least 30 Israeli fighter jets were involved in strikes on Yemen, which come a day after the Houthis attacked the Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv, with a missile landing near the facility.

A senior US official has said the raids were being carried out in coordination with the US. Al Jazeera could not immediately confirm that information

Israeli Broadcasting Corporation said late Sunday the Israeli army was preparing for a wide-scale military response, also as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has called out Iran for giving support to the Ansarallah movement (Houthis).
